Your journey starts
•
Well, the most common
way is to book a ticket in your country to
Bangkok
International Airport also known as Don Muang.
•
Arriving in Bangkok, you may
stop-over for
some days for shopping or exploring Bangkok.
Hint:
-If you plan an extensive shopping tour, you should
do it on your return trip...
-Having arrived
at Bangkok Airport, you can decide on how to continue...

» I want SAMUI
Fine. That's what we
like to hear. You will have several possibilities to travel from Bangkok
to Koh Samui:
•
by Bangkok
Airways (Samui)
•
by
Thai Airways (Suratthani)
•
by
night-train (plus ferry)
•
by
VIP-bus (plus ferry)
 Whatever you do: Do not forget
your baggage! This is very important if you intend to go
on to a domestic airport. Your baggage will not be redirected
automatically at Bangkok Airport, so you'll have to pick it up, move to
the domestic terminal and check-in your baggage again. You would not
be the first traveler who arrives at Koh Samui, while the baggage is still in Bangkok
...

» I want stop-over in
Bangkok
Granted. You
will receive many offers for taxis and hotels just before leaving the
arrival zone! Ignore them. Say: "no thank you".
Most of these services are too expensive.
After leaving the arrival zone without losing money, you may wish to first
visit one of the
currency
exchange services. That's ok! Do it.
To go to Bangkok now, you will need a taxi. There are private taxis
called taxi and public taxi call
taxi-meter. We highly recommend to
read our notes for using a taxi.
You can book a hotel at one of the counters in the airport, but
take care of the location and the price - anyway: This is
not
the best idea! Try to
book a
Bangkok hotel before arriving ... over the Internet.
Enjoy Bangkok, but please do visit
Samui ...If this is your first trip to Thailand, we suggest you read our
details about Bangkok Airport. You will reach the island either at Samui
airport, Samui ferry port or Nathon pier. Generally, if your desired
resort knows your arrival time, you will be picked up by the resort's mini-bus.
If not, there are many private taxi services (pickups) waiting for new guests.
Listen to words like "taxi sir ?".
Hints: ask for the price before entering any taxi - and bargain!
If you have a clear destination, avoid any discussions or suggestions for "a
better hotel". Always the best is to have a pickup service from your
hotel. You may also call the hotel from Samui, Bangkok or wherever you are
now.

help@sawadee.com
or take a look in the
Samui
guestbook.
Enjoy your holiday.

» Advise
All travellers arriving at Koh Samui Airport should use the pick-up
service of their hotel (which is the most convenient way) or the
transportation service provided through sawadee.com.
Don't use the airport limousine service!!
The drivers sometimes tell you that your booked hotel is closed /
flooded / non-existent or to expensive and try to bring you to a
hotel where they get commissions from or just drop you off
somewhere if you not agree to their offer claiming not to know the
hotel you have booked.
